Does this model included any t-disks? I know that this model comes with service t-disk, but what about t-disks with flavor of coffee, latte, or tea. Thanks for your future answers.

does this machine come with something similar to my k-cup where you can brew your own ground coffee in a filter-like cup? can you brew ground coffee of your choice in a "service t-disk"? thanks

Well, I got my machine today, and since my question did not get an answer, I answered it for myself. The box does not contain any t-disks except service one, but you can register your coffee brewer on the official web site of Tassimo, and get two boxes of t-disks absolutely free. By the way, your choice is limited by 15-20 flavors that you can get for free.

I have had the Braun Tassimo for a few years now and I am a big fan. I love the latte, cappucino, hot chocolate and most recent addition of Chai Tea Latte. The machine is huge hit at dinner parties when it comes time to serve drink w/dessert. I'm definitely going to consider upgrading to the Bosch version when my birthday comes around again this Fall. LOVE MY TASSIMO.I also have a Keurig at work and am NOT impressed. The coffee is very weak, there are no alternative beverages available other than tea, and you have to manually set the temperature. I prefer the bar code system where the machine knows the best temp to use and exactly how much water. IMO, the Tassimo wins hands-down!

Donna, it make an 8 once cup per disk. and about 8 cups with the water bin full. You can adjust the amount of water to make it stronger or lighter in flavor. I love this coffee it is the best. you can also subscribe to the tassimo web site and get the coffee much cheaper and free shipping, however I always look on amazon to see if they have a sale and some times they have it for less. If you purchase it you will not be disappointed. I never answer these questions or make a review, but for this one I think it is well worth it. I have one at home and one in my office.

Yes, it did. I no longer have that machine. It broke in the first 3 weeks. I have since been sent 4 other machines, all breaking, all with carafes. They just sent another machine. It has been a month, so, so far, so good. My advice, don't waste your money on this machine.

M. Kohls. Ok. Not sure what I did the first time around. I found the 710 version for free. It is downloaded, installed, and you are correct, Starbucks are there!Isn't sad what we can do for a cup of coffee...?Thank you for the help and sorry for the waste of time.

It depends on the seller, I purchased one Mac Book that came with several disks, but, the latest purchase did not come with a disk. It really does depend on the seller. You can talk with the seller before you purchase !!!

Nespresso machines use only Nespresso pods which are typically ordered online or over the phone from Nespresso. I believe Starbucks' pods are ESE pods and I think they also make T-Disks for use in a Tassimo machine. There are many semi-automatic espresso machines that support ESE pods now, and there are some that use only ESE pods (e.g. from Nemox and Francis Francis) as well.

I don't. Afte using a variety of coffee makers, I switched to a Tassimo and actually upgraded to another Tassimo. Since you are actually buying the discs you use, if you are on a budget this might not be a great choice. But it provides great tasting coffee every day.

I noticed the same thing. I'm not sure why this is, but the best I could figure is the filtration basket , and disc are not good. I threw this make away and just bought another brand & the coffee tastes fine again. Never changed the amount.

Yes, it comes with one pod of each of the 16 blends. The blends are described in one of the small pamphlets that come with the machine. Pay close attention to each blend as you sample it, taking into consideration the descriptions that Nespresso has provided. Arrange the pods in order of intensity. Get your nose down near the pour spout (stay safe) and notice the aroma. Take a look at the crema and taste it and feel it with your tongue. Watch how the layers separate. Take a sip and try to discern the flavors as described by the Coffee Masters at Nespresso. Make notes--after your second sample, as you will start to lose your thoughts on the first. I speak from experience: We bought our first Nespresso machine a few years ago (We got a CitiZ and love it still). Back then, Nespresso included a beautiful little paperback "book" that explained all the blends--where the beans came from, how to taste and feel the coffee, and explanations of terms/words used to describe the flavors. It is a wonderful book and I really don't understand why Nespresso doesn't include it with its machines anymore. Ours is dog-eared and I hope we never lose it, as it helped us immensely. We get it out whenever a new friend comes over and drinks coffee with us. Sampling coffee makes for a fun event. Maybe you could call Customer Service and request a book--maybe they still have them, I don't know.

I have actually had success with Starbucks pods (using the single shot filter basket), but now I've been reading various places that the machine doesn't work with very many kinds of pods, and it is definitely not e.s.e. certified. I haven't tried any pods other than starbucks, but I don't think pods are the way to go with this machine. I would be curious if there was a pod adapter filter basket that you could purchase to make it work better with pods. Anyone know of such an attachment or where to purchase it?

Depending on what type of T disc. Latte/cappa. are bigger and take up 1 slot, but you can stack at least 3 regular size disc in one slot. I'm very happy with the holder.

Yes to all, however mine was dead at end of one year. Disks died twice after warranty. Too expensive to replace.

Essentially, yes. Tassimo uses a patented bar-code technology. Using a "cappuccino" UHT milk disk, it reads the bar code on the disk and heats the water passing through the machine to steam temperature so that as it passes through the milk disk, it is "frothed" as it pours into the cup. This is not unlike what it does when reading an espresso t-disk bar-code. It heats the water to steam and then passes it through the coffee disk.

The milk is in liquid form, in a separate t-disk. So for instance, if you order cafe latte, you get espresso disks + creamer disks. It's a 2-step process - you run the milk disc first, then insert the espresso disk and run that. It mixes together in the cup, and is actually quite good.

That is too bad...love my Senseo as well...keurig just is not the same! ! Need the froth

Based on the pictures of the Tassimo T-Discs, I would guess they cannot be used in the Bunn MCU. The pods we used when we had the Bunn were Senseo pods. Not always easy to find in stores, but Amazon.com carries a whole lot of flavors.
